Description

I was wondering why purging on external backup points is not working as aspected, but the local does.

Then in recognised that the local purge has a code
https://github.com/nextcloud/backup/blob/069fe25958b00d1e02f29ed69294f7281a163af3/lib/Service/PointService.php#L954-L969

but the remote purge has no code
https://github.com/nextcloud/backup/blob/069fe25958b00d1e02f29ed69294f7281a163af3/lib/Service/PointService.php#L974-L975
can it be that the functionality is not yet implemented?

Research direction

Start in lib/Service/PointService.php around lines 954-975, comparing the local purge implementation with the external backup-point path. Trace how external points are handled and verify that completed work removes eligible remote points as expected, using the repository's existing tests if available.
